Best coffee shops in Worcester

Our guide to specialty coffee in Worcester: 6 verified shops, including Acoustic Java, Bean Counter Bakery Cafe and BirchTree Bread Company. Worcester has a small but real specialty scene anchored by a couple of working roasteries and a handful of cafes that take their coffee seriously, several tucked into old mill and downtown buildings. You'll find in-house roasting, single-origin pours, and a few shops that bring in well-regarded out-of-town beans.
